My father was a wise man in life, and, he always taught me how to weighLife in the right way, father was a fine man, spic'n'spanHe wore slick suits, shoes, boots, a pair of baggy pantsFather was a good man, a true man, he taught me what to sayAnd he taught me what not to say, father was a nice manThe right man, and I will never ever see a man like my old man.My father was a real man, a he-man, He loved his wife all his life up to this dayFather was a straight man, a strict man, He brought us up, with a soft yet firm handMy father was a brave man, a proud man, He stood by the things he said and had to sayFather was "THE" man, I understand, And I will never, ever know a man like my old man
